Product Introduction
Banana juice concentrate is a concentrated form of banana juice, derived from fresh, ripe bananas. This product retains much of the fruit's natural flavor, color, and nutritional value, offering a versatile ingredient for various culinary applications. The concentration process removes excess water, resulting in a thicker product, making it easy to transport and use. With a rich sweetness and distinctive aroma, banana juice concentrate serves as an excellent addition to both sweet and savory dishes. High in essential vitamins and dietary fiber, this concentrate not only enhances taste but also contributes to healthy eating.
Production Process
The production of banana juice concentrate begins with selecting ripe bananas, which are thoroughly washed and peeled. After peeling, the bananas are mashed to create a puree. This puree undergoes a heating process to pasteurize it, which helps in prolonging its shelf life and eliminating any harmful microorganisms. Following pasteurization, the mixture is concentrated through evaporation, reducing the water content while preserving the flavors and nutrients. Finally, the concentrate is cooled and packaged, ensuring that it remains fresh and ready for various applications.
